NOTE

Recommendation for a Council Decision on the opening of negotiations with Hong Kong for the conclusion of an agreement on synthetic, artificial and woollen textiles

Interim report by the Working Party on Trade questions (1)

I. Background

1.

In September 1972 the Commission submitted a communication to the Council concerning the uniformisat- ion of the import treatment for synthetic fibre, artificial and woollen textiles I/121/72 (COMER 56) 7. It proposed the uniformisation of the commercial policy of the Community for these products, subject to the negotiation of agreements on voluntary restraint covering a limited number of sensitive products with those third countries whose exports might cause serious market distortions within the EEC (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and possibly Macao).
